Each person desires a permanent residence in the US for a different reason. A Green Card with the EB-5 Investor program provides many benefits that accomplishes these goals:
  • Legal permanent residents under the EB-5 Investor Program enjoy many of the same benefits as United States citizens.
  • The U.S. is a safe harbor for your family, as well as your personal and business investments.
  • Any member of a family with an EB5 Green Card can enter the U.S. at any time and stay as long as he/she wishes.
  • Investors have constant and easy access to the United States for personal, trade and business purposes.
  • Permanent residents travel to the U.S. without the need of a Visa.
  • Investors may work, live or own their own proprietary business anywhere in the United States.
  • The U.S. has internationally recognized colleges and universities for basic education and graduate study. As a resident, the immigrant investor can benefit from lower college tuition costs, as well.
  • The cost of living in the U.S. is lower than most large industrial nations. Consumer goods, services and housing are significantly less expensive than comparable services and goods in most other countries.
  • Students may work in the U.S. while they attend college and continue to work thereafter. This enables the student to pay part of their education while completing graduate and postgraduate studies.
  • The U.S. provides many financial, social and education entitlements: public schools, health and medical attention, social security and higher education.
  • The immigration investor has the ability to bring other family members to the United States after proper applications and can obtain U.S. citizenship after 5 years.
  • Permanent residency requires no renewal or re-application, except for a processing fee.
